Ideas
I don't know if you have seen this - but here is my 'solution' (not great, but works !)
And - YES, come on EA where is the FIX
"...Have you tried my method? -- it works, but is still not ideal
"the following is for PC
1 - you deploy drone and you cannot move it ; all you can see is your character -
solution ; you are too close to it and are blocking any movement - exit drone and move a couple of steps away ; re-enter drone and you can now move it.
2 - You try to move your drone and the camera moves to the vertical and you cannot see where you are going
Solution - Space bar (on my PC) raises the Drone. Up arrow moves the drone forward, but because the camera swings up you cannot see where you are going. If you keep the up arrow pressed the drone does move forward (look at the 'pad' your soldier is holding, you can see the drone icon as it moves) ; down arrow and you can see the ground
C is the key to lower the Drone
Give it a try !!..."
